Abstract We examined emerging adults (EAs) motivations against sex (MAS) and how these related to their self-reported sexual behavior. Study 1 examined the relationship between demographic variables and three MAS. Study 2 examined the relationship between MAS and the number of sexual partners (LSP). In Study 1, less permissive casual sex attitudes were associated with all MAS. Women and those with less sexual experience endorsed value and not ready motives. In Study 2, those endorsing value and not ready motives had fewer LSP, but those who endorsed health motives reported more LSP. Results hold implications for EA sexual health education.

反对性别的动机和性伴侣数量：两项研究的复制和扩展

摘要我们研究了新兴成年人（EA）的反对性动机（MAS），以及这些动机与他们自我报告的性行为之间的关系。研究1研究了人口统计学变量与三个MAS之间的关系。研究2检验了MAS与性伴侣数量（LSP）之间的关系。在研究1中，所有MAS均伴有较少的随意性行为。妇女和性经验较少的人赞同价值，没有动机。在研究2中，那些支持价值而非积极动机的LSP较少，但那些赞成健康动机的人则报告了更多的LSP。结果对EA性健康教育有影响。
